LINKS IN THE CHAIN THAT CONNECTS US

For your reading pleasure over the holidays and beyond, here are two interesting websites:

www.maureenmurdock.com

Maureen is a family therapist, educational consultant and a writer who lives and works in Venice, CA.  She is the author of Spinning Inward: Using Guided Imagery with Children for Learning, Creativity, and Relaxation (Shambhala Publications) and, more importantly for me, The Heroine's Journey: Woman's Quest for Wholeness (Shambhala Publications), which follows the course of the female epic  that my recent book-length poems - Degrees of Laitude and the forthcoming Longevity - also attempt to track.

After Shocks: The Poetry of Recovery, edited by Tom Lombardo, and published in 2008 by Santa Lucia Books, contains poems by 115 poets from 15 countries (including, from Yours Truly, "The Intemperate Zone," an excerpt from Degrees of Latitude).  This blog updates the anthology with new work by poets who appeared in it.

Merry Christmas 
 
As the story goes, the guy that owns this house lives north of Cincinnati , Ohio .. 
Police were constantly being called for traffic jams and accidents in the neighborhood so they asked him to shut it down during certain hours.  Instead he started charging by car load to pay off duty police to be there.. 
The guy is supposedly a real computer GEEK, and also a great decorator!
